It is Spring!

Status

A picture is worth a thousand words ... This image presents the status of my garden. Bits of newspaper (my son's Golden Retriever pup ...) and other various items needing to be cleared (leaves, tumbleweeds and dead foliage). But it is my garden and it sprouts bits of color and life within me!

Mostly, I am country gardener. No cover photos on Martha's magazine ... Just a delightful respite for me to design, experiment and dig in the Oklahoma dirt! :-)

It is Spring and I am enjoying a perfect day: no wind, mind temperatures and lots of sun!

Interesting thing about the first day of Spring ... Gardens have a party! They put on their colors and shine bright! :-)

And mine is still partying! This morning I have been assessing my next steps and tasks, deciding what to plant, what to move or thin out, where to put fencing to keep the three pups out of my flowers, herbs and sprouts of lettuce. It is w-o-n-d-e-r-ful!
